Yes, but only if workingNot sure on specifics yet but caught something that retireees would also be contributing?
Pensioners vote, and they vote Tory.Can someone more fiscally knowledgeable than I please tell me why the social care levy is going on NI and not on income tax. How can I as a pensioner look my kids in the eye when I won't pay any increase, but would have paid something if it was put on income tax. Seems totally unfair and if I were younger I would be pissed off at this

This rise is supposed to raise £12b p.a for NHS\care. Is this instead of, or in addition to, the £18b that we will save from E.U. contributions? £350m per week isn't it? That's what it said on the bus.
